WHEREAS decisions regarding budgetary allocations among units--between the
System and campuses, among campuses, and within each campus--require an
orderly process of consultative deliberation, under conditions of maximum
transparency, and

WHEREAS there often are externally imposed restrictions on budgets, such as
those imposed by the Governor, and

WHEREAS any restoration of such externally imposed restrictions should not
be treated as an occasion to subvert the orderly consultative processes
required by policy in budgetary matters,

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that if the University's budget is subject to
externally imposed restrictions, and these restrictions are passed on to
units, and if then restrictions are removed, then the funds released must
be restored to units as they were before the restriction.

All proposals for reallocations of funds, based on changing budgetary
circumstances, must be made publicly, with ample opportunity for
discussion, including discussion with the appropriate campus faculty
organizations of the affected campuses, at UH Manoa with the Manoa Faculty
Senate.
